Tony Abbott smiles widely in front of 'The Reject Shop'
Tony Abbott has become the butt of an online joke after he posed for pictures sporting a crazed grin at a Canberra shopping centre.
The prime minister was at Kippax Fair today, media scrum in tow, when he was photographed standing in front of The Reject Shop.
It didn't take long for Twitter to be a buzz with amusement.
Reject shop. Abbott doesn't belong in many places - but he sure does there #auspol

Spare a thought for The Reject Shop, having to be featured in a picture with Tony Abbott.

However, some thought the photographers were a little trigger happy.
One of these days The Reject Shop will go bust and journos will have to go back to catching pollies in front of EMERGENCY signs in hospitals

The slogan in the background of the shots seems to sum up most tweeters opinion on the matter.
